Question 1

Do I need to bring a partner?

Accepted Answer

We rotate partners throughout the dance class and the social dancing portion, so we have lots of singles that come out to the events and you do not need to come with a partner.

Question 2

What role should I register as?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can lead and anyone can follow, all we ask for is that you stay in your chosen role for the duration of the dance class to ensure you don't miss important details and assist in maintaining order during partner rotations.

Question 3

What’s the dress code?

Accepted Answer

You can choose to dress up or not, but make sure what you wear is comfortable enough to dance in (not too tight, not too short, not too warm, allows you to move your arms, hips, torso, and rest of the body easily, not a tripping hazard, etc.).

Question 4

What kind of shoes should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Latin Dance shoes are recommended, but not required. Any clean pair of shoes that is comfortable and not grippy on the floor will work (dress shoes, Fuego sneakers, Taygra sneakers, leather soled ballet flats, suede soled jazz shoes, Toms, etc.). No stilettos please! They put marks in the floor.

Question 5

Is there a coat check available?

Accepted Answer

Sugar Swing Ballroom has a designated area for outdoor shoes as well as a rack to hang your coats. Dancers usually place their personal items such as purses either on the chairs setup against the wall or on the floor near the coat rack area.

Question 6

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

Sugar Swing Ballroom has a small paid parking lot behind the building and there is lots of free street parking in the neighbourhood.

Question 7

Feeling a little nervous…

Accepted Answer

No pressure! We’re very beginner-friendly, and generally you’ll find yourself among lots of other new people.

Question 8

How do I stay informed?

Accepted Answer

Our YEG Dancer Public Events Insider Facebook group has a listing of upcoming Latin dance events and we also use the Facebook group's chats for more time sensitive announcements.

Question 9

Is there anything else I should know?

Accepted Answer
